I have been watching today a movie about microbiome. One of the herbalists innit mentioned Reishi mushrooms another wormwood as tnf blocker. Another specialist advocated nutrient dense salt as possible flare remedy. Anyone tried?

AS, U C, Iritis, migraines. HLA-B27neg. Yoga (instructor) & spin. No meds at this time. Dx 1989. SAA member/donor since 1993. All my posts are personal opinion/feelings and do not represent the SAA. Help find a cure & support others by donating to the SAA.

Bought the reishi mushrooms supplement last week. I read that spondylitis association recommendation for supplements. Funny thing when I informed my rheumatologist I am taking supplements she didn’t even ask what kind...

Shoulder we still assume inflammation is present even though the common blood markers for inflammation are wnl? This has happened a couple of times with me and in the past couple years. Becomes frustrating when seeing a new MD.

I have had AS for over 25 years. I have no fusion... I take Cimzia every 10 days and stick to a hard core gym workout. In addition I stay on the LSD Diet. Right behind working out, diet is the next important thing. If I dont keep off starches no medicine will help. AS is not that bad for me I am in HLBA 27 negative but I do have Polycythemia vera which sucks worse. From looking at me you would have 0 idea I had anything wrong with me.
